le weather

we had a little bit of excitement last night....



and these arent the greatest pictures, but they'll do.



we had a power outage yesterday due to 80 mph winds and lots of rain and hail.



a door to the chapel was blown off (hence the sign) along with a tree falling into the library, and a telephone pole falling in the middle of the street.
we were near evacuation but the power came back again around 8ish. so all is well.
but for a moment...all hell broke loose on Gordon college.

Psalm 62:1, 5-8, 11&12

"Truly my soul silently waits for God;

from Him comes my salvation.

He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved....

My soul, wait silently for God alone,

For my expectation is from Him.

He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defense;

I shall not be moved.

In God is my salvation and my glory;

The rock of my strength,

And my refuge, is in God.

Trust in Him at all times, you people;

Pour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us.

Selah...

God has spoken once,

Twice i have heard this:

That power belongs to God.

Also to You, O LORD, belongs mercy;

For You render to each one according to his work."

It's been an emotional few days. But yesterday i felt the sunshine, and today the weather is british. and I have been reminded of the LORD and of His power, and I've been learning to glorify Him.

Power is His, my friends.

So trust Him.

one of the most wonderful things in the world is waking up to snow falling.
that happened yesterday.
and its extra wonderful to wake up and see what mother nature has done after a night of snowfall.

i wish i had pictures of that.

but don't fret!

my lovely jo and i went for a quick walk around the school.
we talked and i snapped a few photos.

i hope its okay that im posting your pictures jo dear....

isn't she a beaut?



i was going to show you pictures of the campus in the snow, but she's just too pretty.


Jo is my blessing here at school [among many]. i couldn't ask for a more beloved, encouraging sister in Christ. go read her blog and you'll see what i mean.
she is a prime example of a beautiful girl.



also...isnt family just the most wonderful thing? so encouraged byt my mother and sister today. oh ho i love and miss them.

also also...im learning to like cottage cheese again. and i want to like eggplants. any suggestions?

things i hate

1)trying to study for a greek test that i will fail.

2) people who don't text you back for hours (if at all) in a conversation that they started [not the people themselves...just their actions]

3) being envious of other people

4) not having my own [good] camera to love

5)being afraid

6)discontentment

7)struggles that haunt forever

8)being down for no particular reason

9)hair that needs cutting

10)my family living on the other side of the country
